Tacuma Alarm from Hazelnut Merchants!

Hazelnut prices maintain their stability in the free market, while traders from Giresun emphasized the necessity of dealing with the ‘brown marmorated stink bug’ threat more than the price.

Due to risks associated with climate change, hazelnut yields are decreasing, and at the same time, the threat of the brown marmorated stink bug is endangering the future of hazelnuts. In the past years, Georgia experienced a 70% loss. It is known that the invasive pest, brown marmorated stink bug, has caused over $100 billion in damage in the United States alone. Hundreds of thousands of families in Turkey make their living from hazelnuts. If serious measures are not taken urgently, significant losses will also be experienced in our country in the coming years,” he said.

Entrepreneur Coşkun Beyaz, who is involved in hazelnut trade, stated that the rising interest rates have a negative impact on the hazelnut trade volume, emphasizing, “Currently, demand has completely halted in domestic and foreign markets. Prices are currently maintaining their stability. The biggest uncertainty is about next year’s yield. The threat of the brown marmorated stink bug is causing us concern. It is crucial to explain the seriousness of this issue and take necessary precautions,” he said.
